"The King of Comedy": Suits and Leather Flip-Flops

Before writing this article, I really have a few words to say about the so-called comedy films with Chinese characteristics.

In fact, since Star Lord's "Kung Fu" came to an end, there has been no nonsense comedy in Hong Kong. Or to keep pace with the times, there is no more "three vulgar" comedy in China. Some people may ask, isn't "Yangtze River No. 7" also a movie of Xing Ye? No, at best it can only be regarded as a children's movie. Maybe some people still want to ask, aren't "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang 2" and "Dragon and Phoenix Store" also nonsensical? No, these real three-vulgar movies can't be called comedies, but farces [Note: Although this trouble has the meaning of liveliness, it is more of nonsense. ], can not be confused.

I once read such a sentence on the Internet. Xia Yan said in "On the Current Stage of Shanghai's Drama Movement": "The unprincipled 'farce first doctrine' hinders the progress of performances and acting skills." However, at present, China's farce is still very much. There are principles, that is, the principle of all things looking at money. As a result, more and more two films appeared. They don't know that a suit and leather shoes with flip-flops can't be worn by everyone.

Rewatching "The King of Comedy" is like rewatching Xingye's other movies, and you will always be entangled in details that you have never noticed before, just as you look at the same woman every morning, the breath that you have never listened to carefully, never settle. Staring earlobes... these easily overlooked existences are also the reasons why you keep going over and over again.

For example, the sign in front of the community theater has a poop man who doesn't look like a poop on it. It says, Shit, I'm a shit. And the music played is the song of the same name from the Daming faction, which is really funny.

For another example, the man who was called Auntie always put on a dysmenorrhea face and said, what are you doing? I don't know what are you talking about? ...For Yin Tianqiu, who considers himself an actor, this is really ironic.

...

Actually, in "The King of Comedy", the most impressive thing is the star's dress, the suit and leather shoes and a pair of flip-flops, absolutely. The tie drawn in the happy event at home is the same as the suit. Especially the part where Yin Tianqiu taught Liu Piaopiao how to dress up as a student girl under the tree, one side was a suit and leather flip-flops, and the other side was a coquettish and charming lady. When Yin Tianqiu lifted Liu Piaopiao's chin with his fingers, the scene was even more incredible.

Of course, some people may think that this is some kind of deliberate creation in order to win the audience's laugh, but after laughing, there should be a helpless sadness left in my heart.

From the opening slogan: hard work, struggle, to the unwelcome trooper on the set, to the staff who wasted time in the community, and then to Yin Tianqiu who begged beside the phone. A man who holds Stanislavsky's "The Self-Cultivation of Actors" every day and dreams of becoming an actor. The embarrassment of a suit and flip-flops is not intended to be funny, but it is the sadness of a real little person.

However, isn't the suit and leather flip-flops exactly the image of this movie?

Many people like this statement. "The King of Comedy" is the only drama with a strong tragic color among Xingye's countless spoof, nonsense, and crazy works. In layman's terms, this is an autobiographical film of Xing Ye. The man who shouts and works hard every day, the trick that can't die no matter what, the actor who refuses to let go because of three lines... Maybe, these stars have all experienced it.

Perhaps, because of this, this condensed history of the struggle of little people is so moving. As long as you have confidence, determination, and perseverance, why not match a suit with flip-flops?

Last but not least, Master Xing, the king of comedy, is none other than you.
